at first i thought his vocals were funny... Now they're beginning to grow on me. And his voice gets better with every record. These guys sound very unique.
My buddy had this song on in his car and I thought it was Skeletor from He-Man singing lol but that's awesome. It makes me like the band even more. I only heard of this band about a few months ago and I felt like I was living under a rock for so long.
Same thing, it didn't quite turn me off when I heard it but I was like "wtf!?" lol now it's my favorite thing about them aside from Mark's cinematic lyrics.
I thought it was hilarious at first, but it's kinda of a blend of heavy metal and space/prog rock, it's really good. The lyrics are so well done though, they fit the music perfectly. Apple Music just randomly picked up Crystal Logic in a playlist as I got more into NWOBHM, and more recently NWOTHM.
The vocals are very distinct and I thought maybe the song could sound better with a less distinct vocal, so checked a cover by Visigoth and that was good and all, but I was wrong. The distinct vocal is so good on this song!
When I first heard this, I didn't quite know what to make of the vocals. It didn't take very long though for Mark's unique voice to become one of my favorite aspects of this band, along with his lyrics' ability to transport the listener into that world. It's like the best D&D dungeon master, totally invested in the atmosphere and themes writing a metal album. Top 5 favorite classic Heavy Metal records ever!
Hi. I like all kind of good music. And i must say, Manilla Road is an awesome band in the heavy-metal genre. There's a power, a spirit, a wild romantic, an epicness, a beautiful rawness in their songs. The early songs from the late 70s and early 80s are legendary. I'm a bit surprised that such a great band never got mainstream and stayed underground. I'm glad that they still rock and use a "modern" medium like TH-cam to put up videos. So long.... Hail and Up The Hammers
It was mainly because they were late to the party with their music. They made great music that had already been replaced by the next trend. It's a shame, this song kicks ass.
In necropolis but never lost, you already made your way through the memories of your fans, Mark the Shark. Respect to Rick fisher, Scott Park, Randy Fox and the new guys too.
Lol even from 1983 if you are just taking classic heavy metal songs into consideration then the likes of holy diver, the trooper, evil by mercuful fate destroys this musically and compositionally haha
@@LankyYankee Well from 1983 the likes of dio's holy diver, mercyful fates melissa, maiden's piece of mind, def leppard's pyromania, crue's shout at the devil destroys this musically and compositionally haha
i find it funny that people today find manilla road through darkthrone :D manilla once had very cult following. but its better late than never, these guys were one of a kind.
@@derekobs9688 mefyful fate ok, but man, theres so much better albums than those, specially motley crue wtf was that? :D tank, saxon, diamond head, cirith ungol, angel witch...
Manilla Road were true metal pioneers. Nobody sounded like them and nobody dared. Always got a weird 1960's british invasion feel from this album. Killer just killer.
Hello, fellow Wichitans! Mark is my ex-brother-in-law (my sister was married to him), lol. This cracks me up because I never knew they had this many fans until my sister told me how much they've been touring. Crazy.
@charlie von arawn Is cool but they are pretty inferior as musicians and composers compared to their uk counterparts, the likes of holy diver destroy this from 83 in terms of musicmanship
@charlie von arawn Lol I do haha, Holy diver's riff and solo is way more iconic and is compositionally and musically and infinitely superior song\album hence why dio are one of the titans of heavy metal, manilla road cant even hold a candle to the uk heavyweights(dio's origin is from new york but due to dio himself I consider them uk), the trooper by maiden destroys it from the same year, and m sure you are not gonna argue about the suoeriority of musicmanship between maiden and manilla road haha, ozzy's bark at the moon, and for non uk evil by mercyful fate kills it as well as far as riffs and leads go, and if you are speaking about metal songs from the usa from this year then the likes of photograph and the four horsemen butcher this one as well compositionally haha, its just a footnote in the underground and thats about it
@charlie von arawn Nah not shitting, I love this album but its pretty much facts, the mighty murray smith, mercyful fate guitarists, the guitatists in dio and def leppard are way better as guitarists and composers than them, but nonetheless this album is a good 2nd tier us heavy metal album ;)
@@derekobs9688 Why are you here? Who hurt you? Nobody even asked your opinion and you posted similar nonsense on multiple other comments that were praising the song. There is no such thing as objectively better music. It resonates with some people more than others, just like every other existing art form. Trying to add objectivity to a creative medium ruins it. It just makes a technical mess with no heart. Just shut up and listen to The Shark.
felipe126929666 im the same way, im 20 and i feel that metal music today doesnt really do it for me. The new bands i really only listen to are bands that sound like the old guard of metal.
Uh have you even gone deep enough, I mean not all modern metal is crap, trust me. Sure old school Metal is the best but really there are even modern metal bands that are pretty good.
+tzaeru hahaha in spanish castillian krapula means "drunk" and also refers to a person who drinks, smokes and is always surrounded by lustful women haha
Crazy album opening, heard about this band on Metal School and they are very good, too bad they were not picked up by a big label because they rock hard

Its nasal. a very unique way of singing that somehow fits heavy metal haha
The vocals are very distinct and I thought maybe the song could sound better with a less distinct vocal, so checked a cover by Visigoth and that was good and all, but I was wrong. The distinct vocal is so good on this song!
Mark Shelton left us in very dark times , he was a craddle of romanticism he will be missed !
Amazing vocals

Rest in peace Mark Shelton. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful music you've given us. :(

love the intro before the song starts ,great album and great band R.I.P Mark
I have been listening to this band since the late 80's and they kick ass!!!
R.I.P. Mark :(
See you someday in Necropolis! (στην πόλη των νεκρών)
LOST IN NECRAAAAAAAAPOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!
Many people can't stand his vocals, but I love it.
I have to admit...he does sound like Skeletor singing....
TJ Fowler That only makes it better
Skele-Metal...
Fuck Yeah...
Fuck yeah yeah!
The breakdown is perfect, excellent lyrics and drums. Top 10 metal songs, easy.
Lol even from 1983 if you are just taking classic heavy metal songs into consideration then the likes of holy diver, the trooper, evil by mercuful fate destroys this musically and compositionally haha
@@derekobs9688 just shut the fuck up
@derekobs Maiden is trash and so are their fans.
I can’t believe I only just discovered this band!!
RIP Shark, you goddamn legend. Thank you for your years of tireless service to heavy music!
Last week in Rio, Hellroadie went to the crowd and sang along with us the chorus of this masterpiece. What a great night!! Thank you, Manilla!!
Why does everyone complain about the vocals? They're epic. no cheesy shit.
exactly, manilla road will always triumph
i wouldn't want them any other way!
The voice is part of the charm. If he was a typical, cliched screamer they might as well be called Judas Priest. Anyway, great band, great find on YT.
They're pretty nerdy tbh,they work contextually though.
@@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms the vocals are epic bro in every way.
Hail from Greece!!!!
if someone told you what is heavy metal????? just put this song to listen.....
THIS HEAVY METAL PERFECTION......
There was a year 12 guy in my school who had a Manilla Road tattoo and I decided to check the band a few months back and I fucking love it.
magic song ....i listened even in my dreams
"sold my soul to manilla road"
Thanks to the author of that statement for pointing me to that band.
haha same I'm like who's Manila road, I need to be real Metal too
HAHAHA same here !!!!! Thanks Fenris !!!!

One of the tracks that auto-play in my brain
when I'm rolling down highway running 85mph on my chopper
Thanks, Joel, thanks!
The pizza, He-Man!
Did Vinesauce Joel talk about Manilla Road in a steam or something?
@@metalheadgamer80 he's played it multiple times on stream saying it sounds like skeletor metal but admits he's a genuine fan of them
One of "THE GREATEST" METAL Albums of All time!!
Yeah, I'm addicted to this song
RIP MARK may the gates of Valhalla welcome you with open arms.
Really good band his voice is hysterical he sounds like hes taking the piss but at the same time brilliant
Mark Shelton paved metal to another path. Him alone made AWESOME guitar. Crystal logic is an album that has serious weight and magic.
Riposa in Pace Mark true legend and icon of real heavy metal music !
Holy shit! Thank you, Fenriz, for reminding me of this anthem!
Manilla Road were true metal pioneers. Nobody sounded like them and nobody dared. Always got a weird 1960's british invasion feel from this album. Killer just killer.
Thanks to Andri and pagefire i have found that band! So good!
R.I.P.....Mark,Greece was always beside you............/////////.
Lost in Acropoliiis ! \m/
Hail from Greece!
Visigoths cover of this song is awesome and so is this :D TY Visigoth for showing me this band through your cover song!

Hell yeah! I saw these guys live a few months ago in SF. They said they haven't been here for 20+ years. It was a fucking rad show
Uh have you even gone deep enough, I mean not all modern metal is crap, trust me.
Sure old school Metal is the best but really there are even modern metal bands that are pretty good.
May the Lords of Light guide your way to eternal glory,..... R.I.P Mark
Lost in KRAAPUULAAAS~~~~
Language lesson: "Krapula", in Finnish, means "hangover" and the chorus really sounds like "krapulas" (in hangover) to me.
+tzaeru hahaha in spanish castillian krapula means "drunk" and also refers to a person who drinks, smokes and is always surrounded by lustful women haha
My first Manilla song...
So underrated... this song is so huge
the true heavy metal
Manilla road the gods
amazing band ! awesome song ! \m/
Just A Perfect Song I love It
